Criminal Mischief — The Murder of Jonathan Willett
What happens when love turns into control… and control turns into something far more dangerous?
In this episode of Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio examines the brutal murder of Jonathan Willett at the hands of his former girlfriend, Devyn—a case that begins as a volatile breakup and escalates into a chilling act of violence that few saw coming… but many, in hindsight, recognize the warning signs of.
Drawing from official interrogation recordings, court transcripts, and interviews with investigators, Carolyn reconstructs the final days leading up to the murder—uncovering a pattern of obsession, manipulation, and escalating tension that ultimately ended in tragedy.
This is not just a story about one crime.
It’s a portrait of domestic violence in its most insidious form—where control disguises itself as love, where warning signs are minimized or ignored, and where the line between emotional abuse and physical violence quietly disappears.
In this episode, we explore:
• The relationship between Jonathan and Devyn—and how it began to fracture
• The behavioral patterns that signaled escalation
• The moments leading up to the murder
• Devyn’s interrogation—and what she chose to reveal
• The prosecution’s case and courtroom revelations
• The broader implications of domestic violence and coercive control
Through firsthand accounts and documented evidence, Criminal Mischief brings listeners inside the investigation—step by step—allowing the truth to emerge not as speculation, but as something far more unsettling:
A sequence of choices that, once set in motion, could not be undone.
Because the most dangerous part of cases like this isn’t always the violence itself—
It’s how predictable it can be… once you know where to look.

🎧 Criminal Mischief
Episode: The Murdaugh Murders
A powerful name.
A quiet town.
And a story that unraveled everything.
⚖️ The Case
In this episode, Carolyn Ossorio takes you deep into the shocking murders tied to Alex Murdaugh—a once-prominent attorney from a legal dynasty in South Carolina.
What began as a tragic discovery quickly spiraled into one of the most complex and disturbing cases in recent memory.
📞 The 911 Call
It starts the way these stories often do:
A frantic call.
A husband claiming to have found his wife and son brutally murdered.
But even in those first moments…
Something doesn’t sit right.
🔍 The Investigation
As law enforcement begins to dig deeper, the narrative begins to shift.
• Timelines tighten
• Alibis fracture
• Financial crimes surface
And the man at the center of it all?
He’s no longer just the caller.
He’s the focus.
🎙️ Inside the Interrogation
Through police interviews and recorded interrogations, we hear the evolution:
👉 Confidence turning to contradiction
👉 Control slipping into pressure
👉 A story that can’t hold together
Because the more that’s uncovered…
The harder it becomes to explain.
🧾 The Evidence
Court records reveal a web far bigger than the murders themselves:
• Financial fraud
• Abuse of power
• A lifetime of manipulation
And at the center of it all:
A man who believed the system would protect him.
⚖️ The Trial
The courtroom becomes the final stage.
Where:
• Evidence meets narrative
• Emotion meets strategy
• And the truth—whatever it is—can’t hide forever
The verdict doesn’t just close a case.
It exposes a legacy.
🧠 The Takeaway
This isn’t just a murder story.
It’s about:
👉 Power
👉 Control
👉 And what happens when both begin to collapse
Because when someone builds a life on manipulation…
It doesn’t fall apart quietly.

Episode 182: Hollywood — Part 7: The Finale
It was never going to end quietly.
After years of calculated hits, shifting patterns, and rising confidence, the man known only as Hollywood finally made the mistake that ended it all:
He took the wrong money.
💰 The Trap
In this final chapter, we hear directly from the detective who tracked him down.
Because this time, the vault wasn’t just holding cash.
It was holding a tracker.
Within minutes of the robbery, law enforcement had a live signal—and a location.
The hunt was over.
🚐 The Confrontation
On a busy street in Seattle, in the pouring rain, the getaway van was surrounded.
No escape routes.No time to think.
Just pressure—and a decision.
🔫 The Shootout
What followed wasn’t an arrest.
It was chaos.
• Gunfire in the streets
• Civilians nearby
• Officers closing in
A full-scale shootout that turned a calculated criminal career into something desperate and unpredictable.
⚠️ The Escape
And somehow…
He got away.
But not for long.
Because once the system catches up to you—once it knows where you are, how you move, and how you think—
The ending becomes inevitable.
🎬 The Parallel
If this feels familiar…
It should.
The comparisons to Point Break are impossible to ignore.
The thrill.The confidence.The escalation.
And ultimately…
The collapse.
Except this wasn’t a movie.
This was real.
🧠 The Final Takeaway
Hollywood didn’t fall because he wasn’t smart.
He fell because he couldn’t stop.
Because at a certain point, it’s no longer about the money.
It’s about the momentum.

Hollywood: Part Six — Greed
The story continues… and the stakes get higher.
In Part Six of our series on Seattle’s most elusive bank robber—known only as Hollywood—the operation doesn’t just continue.
It evolves.
💰 The Escalation
What began as a bold first hit has now stretched into a three-year run.
And with time comes confidence. With confidence… comes risk.
Hollywood isn’t just robbing banks anymore.
He’s refining the system:
• New members brought into the crew
• Roles becoming more defined
• Execution becoming faster… cleaner… more ambitious
And then comes the shift.
🏦 From Drawers to Vaults
At some point, the teller drawers stop being enough.
Too small. Too predictable.
So Hollywood makes a decision:
👉 Skip the front lines 👉 Go straight for the vault
It’s a move that changes everything.
Higher reward.
Higher exposure.
No margin for error.
🧠 The Pattern Beneath the Chaos
On the surface, Hollywood looks erratic.
• Different neighborhoods
• Sometimes the same bank—two, even three times
• No obvious geographic logic
But chaos has a limit.
Because eventually… money leaves a trail.
And investigators start to notice something subtle—but critical:
👉 His spending habits
Not flashy. Not reckless.
But consistent enough to form a pattern.
And that pattern?
It begins to suggest when—and where—he might strike next.
⚠️ The Turning Point
This is where it shifts.
Because once law enforcement moves from reaction… to prediction…
The clock starts ticking.
Not just on the next robbery.
But on Hollywood himself.
🔜 What’s Next
As the net tightens, the question isn’t whether Hollywood will strike again.
It’s whether he can stop himself.

🎙️ Criminal Mischief
Episode 5: Whetted Appetite
The first robbery. The first rush. The beginning of something far bigger than anyone realized.
In 1992, Seattle was booming. Money was everywhere—tech money, retail money, cash moving faster than the city could keep up. And into that chaos stepped a man who would soon become a legend.
They would call him Hollywood.
But in this episode, he isn’t a legend yet. He’s just a man walking into a bank… for the very first time.
💰 The Job That Started It All
On a quiet day in 1992, Hollywood and a single accomplice execute their first robbery—a Seafirst Bank in Seattle. No theatrics. No mythology. Just a plan… and the nerve to follow through.
They walk out with roughly $20,000 in cash—and more importantly, something far more dangerous:
Confidence.
Because the truth is, the robbery works too well. No one gets hurt. No one stops them. And they disappear without a trace.
That first clean getaway would ignite a spree that would eventually span nearly 20 robberies and more than $2 million stolen across the Pacific Northwest
But in this moment? It’s just the beginning.
🎭 Becoming “Hollywood”
This episode explores how a single successful robbery transforms a man into a persona.
Before the disguises became legendary… Before the FBI gave him a name… Before the mythology took hold…
There was this job.
We examine how Hollywood begins to understand the psychology of fear, control, and performance—less a criminal, more a director staging a scene.
Because from this point forward, every robbery would become more elaborate… more theatrical… and far more dangerous.
🧠 Inside the Mind of a First-Time Bank Robber
Carolyn speaks with a retired FBI agent who breaks down what law enforcement looks for in a first-time offender—and why Hollywood immediately stood out.
• The precision of the timing
• The control inside the bank
• The absence of panic
These weren’t beginner mistakes. This was something else.
Something practiced. Something deliberate.
As one investigator would later suggest, this wasn’t luck—this was the start of a system.
👁️ The Teller Who Was There
For the first time in this series, we hear from a bank teller who witnessed the robbery firsthand.
What did Hollywood say? How did he move? What did it feel like to be on the other side of the counter?
The answers are quieter—and more unsettling—than you might expect.
Because what stands out isn’t chaos. It’s control.
🔥 The Appetite Is Born
This episode isn’t about the biggest score.
It’s about the moment something clicks.
The moment a line is crossed… and instead of fear, there’s exhilaration.
Within months of this first robbery, Hollywood would escalate—hitting multiple banks in rapid succession and refining the method that would make him one of the most prolific robbers in U.S. history
But here, in Episode 5, you hear the spark.
🎧 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
• How Hollywood planned and executed his first bank robbery
• Why that initial success changed everything
• The early indicators that caught the attention of the FBI
• What it’s like to experience a robbery from inside the bank
• How a single decision turned into a multi-year crime spree
📌 Why This Episode Matters
Every criminal story has a turning point.
This is his.
Because before the disguises… before the headlines… before the manhunt…
There was a single robbery.
And it worked.

E|179 Hollywood - Part Four: The Point of No Return
In this episode, Carolyn Ossorio continues her deep dive into “Hollywood,” the elusive Seattle-based bank robber who captured headlines in the early 1990s — and somehow blurred the line between criminal and cultural myth.
This time, the story takes an unexpected turn.
Carolyn sits down with W. Peter Iliff, the writer behind Point Break — the iconic film that, for many, became the definitive portrayal of charismatic, thrill-seeking bank robbers.
The question is unavoidable:
Did Hollywood influence the myth… or did the myth influence Hollywood?
As Iliff reflects on the origins of Point Break, the conversation reveals just how much real-world crime, media coverage, and public fascination feed into the stories we tell — and how those stories, in turn, reshape reality.
Meanwhile, Carolyn continues to unravel the truth behind “Hollywood” — a figure who, despite never giving the money away, somehow earned comparisons to a modern-day Robin Hood.
Perception vs. reality.Story vs. truth.Myth vs. man.
And somewhere in the middle… a bank robber who understood exactly how to control the narrative.

🎧 Criminal Mischief
Hollywood — Part Three: The Tipping Point
Seattle, early 1990s.
A city on the verge of explosion.
Not just crime… but culture.
Because while one man was perfecting the art of the bank heist—
An entire sound was redefining a generation.
🎸 In This Episode:
• The rise of Seattle’s grunge scene and its raw, unfiltered energy
• The parallel ascent of Hollywood—living louder, riskier, and closer to the edge
• Interviews with music industry insiders from the era, including executives tied to the indie label that first signed Nirvana
• How a city’s cultural explosion can blur the line between rebellion and recklessness
🌆 A City in Transition
Seattle wasn’t just changing—it was erupting.
Music, attitude, identity.
Everything felt possible.
And for Hollywood, that meant one thing:
👉 Go bigger.
💰 The Escalation
The robberies become more ambitious.The lifestyle more visible.The myth more dangerous.
Because at some point, the performance stops being controlled—
And starts taking over.
🤠 Bloodlines
Carolyn also traces a fascinating thread through history:
Hollywood’s connection to the American frontier through his great-uncle, Doc Scurlock.
A man who rode alongside Billy the Kid.
Outlaws separated by more than a century—
But connected by something harder to define.
Risk.Reputation.A willingness to live outside the rules.
🧠 The Collision
Grunge wasn’t polished.It wasn’t safe.
It was honest.
And in that environment, Hollywood didn’t just exist—
👉 He fit.
But as the music rose… so did the stakes.
🎯 The Takeaway
Every story has a moment where everything accelerates.
Where identity becomes momentum.
And momentum becomes something you can’t control.
This is that moment.

Every story has a moment where everything accelerates.
Where identity becomes momentum.
And momentum becomes something you can’t control.
This is that moment.

🎧 Criminal Mischief
Hollywood — Part Two: Robin Hood and His Merry Men
He wasn’t just robbing banks.
He was building a life.
A mythology.
And for a while… it worked.
🌲 In This Episode:
• The construction of Hollywood’s legendary treehouse hideaway—part fortress, part fantasy
• The carefully curated image of a man living outside the rules… and loving every minute of it
• The relationships he built—and the romantic encounters that became part of his legend
💸 Money, Myth, and Momentum
The money started flowing.
Not quietly. Not cautiously.
But loudly.
Lavish spending. Big tips. A reputation for generosity—especially at his favorite restaurant.
To some, he looked like a criminal.
To others…
👉 He looked like a modern-day Robin Hood.
🧪 The Turn
But beneath the surface, something darker was taking hold.
Hollywood’s involvement in crystal meth production and distribution marked a turning point.
What had been controlled… became chaotic.
What had been strategic… became reckless.
And the lifestyle he was building began to depend on something far more volatile than bank heists.
👥 The Crew
Around him, a circle formed.
Not случайно.
These were people drawn to:
• The money
• The energy
• The danger
Friends who would soon become something else entirely:
👉 His heist crew.
🧠 The Takeaway
Every criminal story has a moment where it shifts.
From calculated… to careless. From controlled… to combustible.
This is that moment.

🎧 Criminal MischiefHollywood — Part One: It's In the Blood
Every great criminal story starts the same way:
Not with the crime…
But with the person.
🎭 Who Was “Hollywood”?
Before the disguises, before the headlines, before the name Hollywood became synonymous with one of the most unusual bank robbers in Seattle history—there was a past.
And it’s stranger than you think.
Known for his theatrical style, calculated confidence, and almost surreal approach to robbery, Hollywood didn’t just commit crimes—
He performed them.
But in Part One, we go back to the beginning.
To the early years.
To the influences.
To the decisions that slowly shaped a life that would eventually blur the line between crime… and spectacle.
🌊 From the Mainland to Hawaii
Before Seattle, there was Hawaii.
A place that offered reinvention—but also introduced new connections, new influences, and a different kind of mythology.
Because this isn’t just a story about a bank robber.
It’s a story about identity.
About how far someone is willing to go to become something else entirely.
🕰️ A Connection to the Old West?
In one of the most unexpected turns, this episode explores a claimed connection to Josiah Scherlock—a name tied to the orbit of Billy the Kid.
Whether legend, lineage, or something in between, the association adds a layer of myth to an already unusual story.
Because sometimes, the past doesn’t stay buried.
Sometimes—it gets rewritten.
🧠 What This Episode Explores
Hollywood’s early life and formative influences
His time in Hawaii and the identity shift that began there
The origins of his theatrical approach to crime
The strange and debated connection to Old West outlaw history
How myth, performance, and reality begin to blur
🎯 The Takeaway
Before the robberies… there was a story.
And like all good stories, it didn’t begin with certainty.
It began with questions.
